Chapter 155: The fief of the king is so poor
When King Su heard that the emperor did not agree to their divorce, a glimmer of hope was ignited in his heart, even if his father did not agree, King Ding couldn't blame him, right? He agreed, but his father didn't agree, and he couldn't help it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that thinking of the means of setting the king, King Su doesn't think that he will just forget this matter. Thinking of Qin Zi'er just now, he said that he was with her, but they were just a couple of resentful couples, and it seemed that she really didn't want to marry her at all.
"Qin Zi'er, you go out first."
Zi'er glanced at King Su, and saw that the emperor did not object, so she walked out of the imperial study. She believed that King Su would handle this matter, and she would just wait for the emperor's consent.
There were only two people in the imperial study, the emperor and King Su, and after Qin Zi'er went out, King Su knelt in front of the emperor, his face was indignant.
"Father, ask my father to agree to the divorce between his son and Qin Zi'er, how can my son not marry a woman who has his heart on another man."
Since King Ding threatened him, let his father deal with King Ding, he didn't believe that with his father, he would not be able to clean up a Beichenluo.
Emperor Qiande looked at King Su with a cold face, and said lightly: "What do you mean?" ”
"Qin Zi'er, a practitioner, secretly seduced King Ding, her heart was on King Ding, and King Ding also threatened this king to let this king and Qin Zi'er quit."
Thinking that Qin Zi'er couldn't wait to get rid of him, King Su couldn't wait to break her neck in his heart, he was so sincere to her, she was still such a watery poplar, how could she not hate?
"You say the king threatens you? How did he threaten you? Emperor Qiande raised his eyebrows, looking at King Su with an uncertain gaze, and the depth of his eyes made King Su unable to understand the meaning of his words at all. Do you care about him, or do you want to know what kind of authority you have in the hands of the king?
King Su glared angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "He said that if Erchen does not withdraw from Qin Zi'er, he will let Erchen slowly become crippled, and also said that let Erchen choose, first cut off his hand or foot, or don't have eyeballs first." The father also knew that there were 300,000 Dingjia troops in the hands of King Ding, and there were countless secret guards in his hands, as well as forces that we didn't know. ”
He can say that the king threatens him, but he cannot say that the king threatens him with what he has done, or his father and the emperor will not let him go. And he said this, firstly, to let the emperor know that he has no power, and sometimes he does not even have the ability to protect himself, and secondly, to let his father know that the power of King Dingwang is getting stronger and stronger, and if he is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will definitely be the biggest hidden danger.
King Su knew that his father had long wanted to get rid of King Ding, but he didn't dare to push him too hard, but what King Su wanted now was that his father and King Ding would have a hard time, and if the two strong competed, they would each have their own damage, and he might have a chance at that time.
His father's health is still very good, and no one knows how many years he can sit on the throne, and he has no patience to wait that long. It's just that he can't act rashly, otherwise, his father will definitely kill him without hesitation.
Hearing King Ding's threat to his son like this, Emperor Qiande was furious, after so many years, how could he not know the strength of King Ding? If he could, he wished that the king would die immediately.
"Father, there is only one master in Dingwang's Mansion, if we want to deal with him, we can only deal with him directly, but if there are more masters in Dingwangfu, there will be more people in Dingwang's Mansion, and Dingwang is very powerful, but how we want to deal with other people, we can't deal with it yet. Since King Ding and Qin Zi'er hooked up together, in the future, we can use Qin Zi'er to lead King Ding. If King Ding cares about Qin Zi'er, and even if Qin Zi'er has King Ding's children, we will have the opportunity to use them to lead King Ding. ”
Looking at his father's gloomy face, King Su couldn't guess what he was thinking, right now he just wanted to get rid of Qin Zi'er, as for what to do next, he could only plan slowly.
If both his father and King Ding are defeated, it would be the best, not only to give him hope to sit in that position sooner, but also to get rid of King Ding.
As for Qin Zi'er, as long as he is in power, he is afraid that he will not be able to clean up a woman?
"Are you willing to let King Ding slap you in the face? The hatred of taking away his wife is not shared. Emperor Qiande looked at King Su coldly, as if he wanted to see through this son.
"Father, if you can get rid of King Ding, this king doesn't care, if Qin Zi'er can make King Ding have weaknesses, even if the sons and daughters accept some grievances, it's nothing, besides, Qin Zi'er is a woman, and the sons really don't want to marry." Under the fierce gaze of Emperor Qiande, King Su had a posture of enduring humiliation, but only he knew what he thought in his heart.
Emperor Qiande didn't know that it was not easy to deal with King Dingwang alone, not to mention the 300,000 Dingjia army, even his martial arts, as well as his secret power, should not be underestimated. It would be much easier if he had a few more weaknesses around him.
He also understood that if it was an ordinary woman marrying King Ding, he would definitely not care at all whether those women were dead or alive, but Qin Zi'er should be different for him.
Besides, he didn't want Qin Zi'er to become the royal daughter-in-law. Even if she can be divorced in the future, it will not change the fact that she has married into the royal family.
"You are also of marriageable age, you want to withdraw from Qin Zi'er, who do you want to marry as a concubine?"
Although Emperor Qiande seemed to ask casually, how could King Su not know that his father's move was a temptation. If he asked to marry the daughter of a powerful minister, he was afraid that what he had just said would leave a deep suspicion in his father's heart.
"The marriage of the sons and daughters is decided by the father!" He never thought that he could make his own decisions about his own family affairs, and he could make his own decisions about everything he wanted, unless he was like his father.
"Your relationship with Qin Zi'er, let's stop it, and I will choose the right candidate for you in the future." Regarding the attitude of King Su, Emperor Qiande was still quite satisfied. As for King Ding's threat, he won't be stupid enough to say it, over the years, he, the emperor, has not been slapped in the face by King Ding, as long as he can get rid of him as soon as possible, even if he suffers some grievances for a while, it is worth it.
King Su got the answer he wanted, so he went out and exchanged marriage letters and tokens with Qin Zi'er, and the marriage contract between them was dissolved.
"Qin Zi'er, you will regret it!"
When Zi'er turned around, King Su spoke coldly behind her back, Zi'er didn't hear it, she Qin Zi'er would never regret what she did.
If you break off the marriage contract with King Su, you will not regret it.
The matter that has been delayed for so long has finally been resolved, and Zi'er doesn't feel much of it, after all, the result will definitely be like this. She didn't care about how King Su persuaded the emperor, anyway, what she wanted was the result.
After leaving the palace and returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she found that the news of her dissolution of the marriage contract with King Su had spread, Zi'er was a little surprised, she didn't expect this matter to be known so quickly.
On the way back to Qingfeng Xuan, he met Qin Guangguang, and he just said coldly, "The wings are really hard, and there is no need to come forward for the father to withdraw from the marriage, so that if you get married in the future, you don't need to be a father." ”
If there are no parents after getting married, she will definitely be looked down upon, Qin Guangguang is extremely angry, he wants to see what will become of her when she gets married in the future and does not come forward.
Zi'er didn't care at all, smiled at Qin Guangguang, and said, "Father likes it!" But my mother's dowry, I will definitely take it away. If she really got married and he didn't attend, she really wouldn't feel sad and sad, after all, for her, the father of this body really didn't matter. What does it matter if someone who is not important does not attend his wedding?
"Evil girl!" Qin Guangguang glared at Zi'er coldly, brushed his sleeves and left.
Zi'er smiled faintly, her father is kind and filial to her son, but her father is not kind, how can she be a filial daughter? If this man hadn't been born, but he didn't care, how could the predecessor have died?
He has driven his own woman to death!
Three days after retiring from King Su, King Ding appeared in front of Zi'er, Zi'er didn't go to him for the past few days, this guy has been very busy recently, or he has known him for so long, he has not been idle.
Since the eldest princess of Xihua has become the emperor's concubine, it is impossible to choose a concubine, and because she is only a concubine in the harem, there is no wedding, and envoys from various countries do not need to attend the wedding of the eldest princess. It's just that in addition to Xihua, the envoys of several countries have asked to marry the daughters of some important ministers of the imperial court.
In the past few days, Zi'er has also made people pay a little attention to Qin Guangguang, except for the palace banquet, Qin Guangguang has not been in contact with the envoys of any country in private, so there are still no useful clues about the token of the previous dynasty.
After the envoys from various countries left Xirui, Zi'er also soon went to Yanzhou with Beichenluo, Yanzhou's territory is very large, but because of the barren land, and because there is a Dingjia army sitting in the battle, the people feel that there is a Dingjia army, even if there is a war, the Dingjia army will definitely be able to protect the people, so those people who have left their hometowns because of various natural disasters * If they can, they will try to go to Yanzhou to settle down, so the population of Yanzhou is also increasing, but due to the barren land, although Beichenluo has been very careful to govern, but the people's lives, I can only barely fill my stomach.
After learning about the situation in Yanzhou, Zi'er also understood why Beichenluo had so many industries, but she couldn't save much silver, she thought it was because of too much military salary, and now it seems that there are too many people in Yanzhou and the land is barren, which is also the reason why Beichenluo spends money like water.
Shangjing City is more than 1,000 miles away from Yanzhou, Yanzhou is adjacent to several countries, the east is the Ziyun Kingdom, the south is the Xia Ming Kingdom, the west is the Dawan Kingdom, the emperor of the Xirui Kingdom gave the fief of the king of Dingzhou here, and it is also hoped to use the Dingjia army to suppress and prevent those countries.
It is precisely because of the barren land and many mountains in Yanzhou that the fief of King Dingwang will be so large.
Zi'er and Beichenluo were not in a hurry along the way, it took half a month to get from Shangjing to Yanzhou.
Entering the realm of Yanzhou, Beichenluo talked a lot more, and from time to time introduced the scenery and customs along the way, the specialties and economic conditions of various places to Zi'er.
Beichenluo is very familiar with every place in Yanzhou, thinking that over the years, he has really worked hard to govern, but due to geographical reasons, even if he cares hard, he can't let the people of Yanzhou live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.
The original founding emperor of Xirui was selfish, and set the fief of King Ding here, so that they could guard against the enemy country, but gave King Ding the most barren land, what is the use of a large area, even if such land is mined, it will not be able to grow food.
If it weren't for the 300,000 Dingjia troops stationed here, how could Xirui have lived in peace for so many years, and the surrounding countries had long been eyeing Xirui country, but they were afraid that the war between countries would have broken out long ago.
Along the way, the business of the cities of Yanzhou is still relatively prosperous, although business can drive the development of the economy, but in this era, grain is the fundamental, if you want to transport grain from other places, the freight alone will be a lot more.
Moreover, the people of Yanzhou do not have anything to exchange for money, most of them can only rely on the harvest in the field, and in order to develop commerce, Yanzhou City has tried its best to give preferential treatment to the merchants who come, although the business is prosperous, but the tax can not support the weekday expenses, if it is not filled by industries from all over Beichenluo, it will definitely not be able to make ends meet.
"Lord Wang, I just found out that you are so poor now."
Zi'er lowered the curtain of the car, and in the villages she passed by just now, she saw mostly houses with mud walls and straw houses, and most of the houses where the people lived along the way were like this.
Compared to many places in Xirui Kingdom, Yanzhou is really relatively poor.
"Yes, this king is incompetent, watching the people suffer, but he is helpless." Beichen Luo picked up the book on the side, although his face was still cold, but Zi'er knew that he must be uncomfortable in his heart.
"Actually, I think that although the land in Yanzhou is barren, if you want the people to be fed and clothed, there is no way." It is not far from Yanzhou City, and along the way, Zi'er has a clear understanding of the situation in Yanzhou, and has also thought about what can be done to solve the problem of poor land and low grain production in Yanzhou.
In fact, Zi'er thinks that although the grain output in Yanzhou is not high, there are many other crops here, such as medicinal materials, tea, fungi, etc., but the people here do not know those medicinal materials, and they are not good at making tea.
As for all kinds of mushrooms, if the people learn how to grow them, and then dry those fungi and sell them to other places, it is also a good income.
As for the barrenness of the land, Zi'er didn't have much to do, after all, although she had learned a lot before, she really hadn't learned how to farm. However, after reading various heroines in some travel novels, if you improve the soil, and then what crops are suitable for planting in what place, etc., I don't know if it will have any effect.
Because many of those traversal farming texts have descriptions of how the heroine changes the soil, Zi'er really doesn't know how many similar texts she has read, so she remembers some.
However, planting medicinal herbs, identifying medicinal herbs, planting tea leaves, making tea and roasting tea, these are not difficult for her.
Medicinal herbs and tea have been in contact with since she was sensible, and she knows them very well.
And even if she doesn't understand, she can ask someone to teach the people here.
When Beichen Luo heard Zi'er's words, he thought he had misheard, and raised his eyes to look at Zi'er, but saw that she was pondering.
Zi'er came back to her senses and saw Beichen Luo staring at herself, Zi'er blinked, "Did you ask me just now?" "I just said that I want to keep the people fed and clothed, but there is no way.
"Did you just say there was a way?" Beichen Luo didn't know if he had heard it wrong, but it would be clear if he asked.
Zi'er smiled and nodded: "I think there are some things that can be done, if they are done well, they will definitely make the people live a good life." ”
"Along the way, you know Yanzhou, how do you think you can get the people out of the hard life in front of you?" Zi'er's smart Beichen Luo has always believed in it, and she often brings surprises to herself, maybe she really has a way.
"Let's go all the way, passing by a lot of mountains and forests, there must be a lot of medicinal materials in the forest, as well as tea, the geographical environment of Yanzhou, I think it is very suitable for planting medicinal materials and tea, if we strengthen the degree of attention in these two aspects, and then plant some mountain goods produced in the mountains, the people will definitely be able to live a good life." Even if we don't grow more food, if we have the silver, we can afford it, even if it's more expensive.
And if we produce a lot of medicinal materials and tea here, attract a lot of merchants to come, and when those merchants come to buy medicinal materials and tea, they will transport the grain to sell at the same time, so that even if the freight is added, the price of the grain will not be too expensive. ”
The more Zi'er thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible, medicinal herbs and tea are all precious things here, the price is not low, and the medicinal herbs and tea produced here are excellent, if the people all grow these, they will definitely be able to prosper the business here, attract more businessmen to come, and also increase the income of the people.
At that time, it will no longer be a luxury for the people to be fed and clothed. And this is under the rule of King Ding, the law and order are strict, and there will be no all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, such a business environment is what businessmen like, and they don't have to worry about danger if they make money, so why worry about them not coming.
Beichen Luo thought about what Zi'er said, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, but if he wanted the people to plant medicinal herbs and tea instead of food, they would definitely feel that their lives were completely insecure, so there were not many people who were willing to plant.
"Food is the foundation of people's lives, so let them give up growing food and plant medicinal herbs and tea instead, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to implement." Beichen Luo expressed his worries, in front of Zi'er, he has always said any difficulties.
Zi'er likes him very much, which makes her feel that in Beichen Luo's heart, they are equal, and he doesn't have the kind of discrimination in his heart because she is a woman.
"I didn't say that the people should not grow food, food must be planted, those fertile fields cannot be moved, and we have to find a way to change the soil situation, try to make the soil more fertile, and the grain produced will be higher. As for medicinal herbs and tea, we can all encourage the people to open up the wasteland and use the wasteland that is not good for growing food to grow medicinal herbs and tea, after all, these things, some wasteland in the mountains is more suitable for planting. ”
The cold color on Beichen Luo's face completely faded, and it was the first time Zi'er was so excited to see him, his eyes full of hope and expectation were so bright and bright, Zi'er looked at it in a daze, and for a while, she forgot to stagger her eyes.
"Zi'er, thank you, the method you said must be feasible, you are really the lucky star of this king, and the lucky star of the entire people of Yanzhou." Beichen Luo grabbed Zi'er's hand tightly, Zi'er looked at him blankly, one of them was excited, the other was sluggish, so neither of them knew that they were so close at the moment, so close that they could feel each other's exhalation.
The mountain road is difficult, and it has just rained, and when passing by a small waterhole, the carriage jolted, which also made Zi'er and Beichenluo come back to their senses.
"Ahem, look at you excited, your hands have been scratched out of the mark." Zi'er stretched out her hand, wanting to withdraw her hand from Beichen Luo's palm, this girl's palm is so big, and it's good...... Warm.
A hint of shyness flashed in Zi'er's eyes, but when she reached out to come back, she had already lowered her eyes, otherwise she would have let Beichen Luo look at it.
Beichen Luo didn't let go of Zi'er's hand immediately, the weak and boneless little hand was tightly wrapped by his big palm, and Beichen Luo knew that her hand was so weak and petite.
"I said Lord, even if you are excited, you can't hold on to me, let's take it slowly, take a deep breath, calm your excitement, you are a dignified king, how can you be so out of shape."
Zi'er found that her heartbeat seemed to be much faster, and she suspected that if this girl was holding her hand like this, her heart was about to jump out, it was really useless, wasn't it just being grabbed by a man? When I was in the army, I didn't touch a man's hand.
It's just that at that time, it seemed that the atmosphere was not so ambiguous!
